If you stay at this apt, be ready to watch out for every ding and scratch you make. Host tried to charge $120 to buy a brand new window blinds he claims i damaged. the blinds were slightly bent which i did notice at checkin (host did not show up to unit at checkin or during the stay - so its my word vs his). I explained that they were bent when i first entered the apt and he said that I am wrong since he personally cleans the apartment.
I really would have been more open to working this out with the host and even help to pay for the repair as a goodwill gesture (but certainly not replacement) if it wasnt for his abrasive communication style with the guests. Without prior discussion he sent me a bill for $120 for damage.
Any reasonable person knows that it would not cost $120 to unbend the windows shades. There are even DIY videos on google for that. After pushing back he finally returned with a revised bill for $30. Why try to charge me 120 for the whole unit if it could have been repaired for 30 in the first place? I cant help but feeling like I was being taken for a ride.
Few days earlier he called me to ask to give him a 5 star review as he was concerned about past reviews of the unit - which at the time had no problem with. After being charged $120 for damage I did not do, no one can reasonably expect to leave a good review.
To be fair the unit is great, in good location in thonglor and offers a great view of the city. If you are independent and get by with minimal help from the host during the stay - you should be fine. Oh and watch out for any bills after checkout. Would recommend taking pictures if possible.
